# std::inplace_vector<T,N>::max_size

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | inplace vector

static constexpr size_type max_size() noexcept; |  | (since C++26)

Returns the maximum number of elements the container is able to hold.

### Parameters

(none)

### Return value

Maximum number of elements, i.e. `N`.

### Complexity

Constant.

### Notes

Because each std::inplace_vector<T, N> is a fixed-capacity container, the value returned by `max_size` equals `N` (which is also the value returned by capacity()).

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <locale>
    #include <inplace_vector>

    int main()
    {
        std::inplace_vector<char, 10> p;
        std::inplace_vector<long, 10> q;

        std::cout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF-8"));
        std::cout << std::uppercase
                  << "p.max_size() = " << std::dec << p.max_size() << " = 0x"
                  << std::hex << p.max_size() << '\n'
                  << "q.max_size() = " << std::dec << q.max_size() << " = 0x"
                  << std::hex << q.max_size() << '\n';
    }

Output:

    p.max_size() = 10 = 0xA
    q.max_size() = 10 = 0xA
